Gay Short Film Showcase: This is how homophobia feels in 2018 – A poetic look at modern gay oppression

The BBC’s The Social is a digital content stream featuring creative young people from all over Scotland. One of its latest videos is a poetic look a modern day homophobia. The poem explores things many gay people will know if they show public displays of affection.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Two men hold hands in a public place, but even in 2018, something’s not quite right. Time For Love explores homophobia in modern society, and also the concept of normality. Do the pressures of convention turn us against one another? Is love the price?’

Unfortunately the video is only likely to play in the UK, but if you can watch it, it’s well worth taking a look at the thoughtful and smart video below.
